Apple in shock talks with Reg reader

Obviously a Mac fan, but also blinkered

That's like saying who care's about Audi, BMW etc cars that work. Everything should work regardless of the manufacture or platform. If you don't care about it, intend for it to work or are intentionally making it bad to convince people towards a particular brand, hardware, OS etc then what's the point in even developing it.

I believe it's done badly on purpose, but surely this drives people away from their products, it does for me as I don't trust them for that reason only.

Everything apple produces is poor on a PC

Everything Apple does on the PC is poor, even their website. No consideration for bandwidth restrictions etc. I have a 6MB connection and all my machines (6 including 1 mac) have issues, you'd expect a large company like Apple who slag everyone elses coding off to cover the basics.

I love the iPhone and whilst I'm not a fan of flash, it annoys me that they don't listen and even include simple essentials that many others do. Surely they should at least consider demand rather than try to dictate trends. If I remember correctly they always used to slag Microsoft off for this and yet they are much much worse than MS now.

Audi drives into mobile phone production

Ugly phone

Ugly phone, I think they'd be better off just making an application that you can install on a smart phone or team up with a manufacture like Nokia or Sony Ericsson.

Jobs hits London to announce O2 iPhone deal

Apple and O2, No thanks, not now!!

Well, I'd have to agree with another comment, Apple do seem to be the next Microsoft, worse in fact. Microsoft would just be happy with the sales.

O2, well, useless network, lots of dropouts and they tried to charge me for data use which I never used...

I think O2 will eventually show up as a let down to Apple's iPhone.

I'd like an iPhone, but I think I'll wait for the next generation, as whilst it looks good, it's still lacks some basic features like 3G, MMS etc.
